Web Site Information

Some Adware Blockers can apparently remove images from the display of web pages. This can occur if the height and width of the image are both multiples of ten. This problem can easily be fixed. I've checked the League Competition result pages and 'fixed' them, but if a member should notice a "missing" image please e-mail the Webmaster with details of the page and image involved. Thank you.

HPS are going to apply for an "Awards for All Grant" towards photographic equipment for use by the club on club nights. This will include items that can be "lent" out to members to help them in their chosen area. Chris Gill and Martin Eves are looking for ideas, from the membership, for items they feel would enhance being a member of HPS. If any member has any idea, big or small (we can apply for up to £10,000), please speak to either Chris or Martin about your thoughts and ideas. The HPS committee meet on Monday 16th April to decide - so be quick!
